Lucy Richmond
I'm Lucy Richmond. Hello and welcome to my page. I am basically a happy
but hard working Lady.
Like everyone, I wear many hats and have many interests. The
main ones are:
My Family
I was single for many years after college, looking for the
right person to spend my life with. Finally I met
Alan. We have two sons, Neil and Mark.
We home school
our boys and love it!
- Neil
-
Born in Cambridge, England, in August 1990, Neil is a bright
boy that asks lots of interesting questions. He likes
playing video games, designing roller coasters, and drawing.
He is also very into Zoids.
- Mark
-
Born in Echirolle, France, in March 1992, Mark is also bright
but more outgoing. He likes horseback riding, playing guitar,
and animals, especially his Leopard Gecko, Viper.
One day he wants to visit Africa so he can see all the wild animals.
My Work
I am the CEO of
EncycloZine, the creators of
EncycloZine.
We are a small but growing Internet company dedicated
to providing a fun learning resource for all ages.
I have a BA in English from
Birmingham-Southern College
in Birmingham, Alabama, and an MBA in Management from
Georgia State University, in Atlanta, Georgia.
My first job was as a Technical
Editor but I quickly got into computer programming and have
over 12 years of programming experience. Before starting my
family, I was first a Database Specialist
and later the STSDAS Software Systems Administrator for
The Space Telescope Science Institute
in Baltimore, Maryland (where I met
Alan).
EncycloZine is the second site Alan and I have built. Our first
was The Web Developer's Virtual Library, which we
built under the company name of CyberWeb SoftWare and later sold to
Internet.com.
My Hobbies
I have three main hobbies: collecting dragons, reading Dick
Francis novels, and walking in my woods.
I began my dragon collection in 1986 while visiting Disney World
with the purchase of a china dragon from Cinderella's castle.
I have added more figurines, jewlery, and books since then. I
prefer European and Welsh dragons to Oriental ones.
I read my first Dick Francis novel in the early 1970s. Since
then I have looked forward to his yearly offering. My family
knows not to expect me to do anything until I have devoured
the new book. For those who don't know, Dick Francis is a
former steeplechase jockey that now writes mysteries with some
(sometimes very slim) tie-in to horse racing. I especially like
his character development and his ability to give me insight into
a world I know nothing about. His last book was published in 2001.
We are fortunate enough to live on over 35 acres of land, most of it
still wooded. I find walking in the woods to be a great way to relax
and collect my thoughts. Each season brings new things to see and enjoy.
